DVD Getaway The

On July 1, 1863, more than 150,000 soldiers were drawn by fate to the defining moment of the Civil War. Men of honour in an age when honour meant everything, they fought out of loyalty to country or homeland, or to preserve states' rights; many more were moved to the defence of individual freedom. When it was over, a third of their number lay wounded or dead in the quiet wheat fields outside Gettysburg, PA. The Union Army had prevailed. The Republic would survive.Choosing between love and money is one thing. Getting away with both is something else. From director Roger Donaldson (No Way Out, The World's Fastest Indian) comes a classic film noir of deceit and distrust set in the sordid underworld of the American Southwest. Professional thief Doc McCoy (Alec Baldwin) knows his wife Carol (Kim Basinger) has been fooling around with his former partner Jack Benyon (James Woods) in order to spring him from jail. Problem is, Doc now owes Benyon a job for the favour. But the heist goes wrong, and Doc and Carol find themselves on the run from the law, Benyon, and murderous accomplice Rudy Travis (Michael Madsen). With a bag of stolen cash, and a rising body count in their wake, the McCoys make a desperate break for the Mexican border.
